MEDIUM: wurfl: add Scientiamobile WURFL device detection module
WURFL is a high-performance and low-memory footprint mobile device
detection software component that can quickly and accurately detect
over 500 capabilities of visiting devices. It can differentiate between
portable mobile devices, desktop devices, SmartTVs and any other types
of devices on which a web browser can be installed.
In order to add WURFL device detection support, you would need to
download Scientiamobile InFuze C API and install it on your system.
Refer to www.scientiamobile.com to obtain a valid InFuze license.
Any useful information on how to configure HAProxy working with WURFL
may be found in:

+Scientiamobile WURFL Device Detection
+-------------------------------
+
+You can also include WURFL for inbuilt device detection enabling attributes.
+
+WURFL is a high-performance and low-memory footprint mobile device detection
+software component that can quickly and accurately detect over 500 capabilities
+of visiting devices. It can differentiate between portable mobile devices, desktop devices,
+SmartTVs and any other types of devices on which a web browser can be installed.
+
+In order to add WURFL device detection support, you would need to download Scientiamobile
+InFuze C API and install it on your system. Refer to www.scientiamobile.com to obtain a valid
+InFuze license.
+Compile haproxy as shown :
+
+ $ make TARGET=<target> USE_WURFL=1
+
+Optionally WURFL_DEBUG=1 may be set to increase logs verbosity
+
+These are the supported WURFL directives (see doc/configuration.txt) :
+- wurfl-data-file <path to WURFL data file>
+- wurfl-information-list [<string>] (list of WURFL capabilities,
+ virtual capabilities, property names we plan to use in injected headers)
+- wurfl-information-list-separator <char> (character that will be
+ used to separate values in a response header, ',' by default).
+- wurfl-engine-mode <string> (Sets the WURFL engine target. You can choose
+ between "accuracy" and "performance","performance" by default)
+- wurfl-cache-size <string> (Sets the WURFL caching strategy)
+- wurfl-patch-file [<file path>] (Sets the paths to custom WURFL patch files)
+
+Sample configuration :
+
+ global
+ wurfl-data-file /usr/share/wurfl/wurfl-eval.xml
+
+ wurfl-information-list wurfl_id model_name
+
+ #wurfl-information-list-separator |
+
+ wurfl-engine-mode performance
+ #wurfl-engine-mode accuracy
+
+ ## double LRU cache
+ wurfl-cache-size 100000,30000
+ ## single LRU cache
+ #wurfl-cache-size 100000
+ ## no cache
+ #wurfl-cache-size 0
+
+ #wurfl-patch-file <paths to custom patch files>
+
+ ...
+ frontend
+ bind *:8888
+ default_backend servers
+
+There are two distinct methods available to transmit the WURFL data downstream
+to the target application:
+
+All data listed in wurfl-information-list
+
+ http-request set-header X-WURFL-All %[wurfl-get-all()]
+
+A subset of data listed in wurfl-information-list
+
+ http-request set-header X-WURFL-Properties %[wurfl-get(wurfl_id,is_tablet)]
